Abstract

The spicule structure of the Euplectella aspergillum sponge (EA) looks promising in the search for mechanical enhancements of brittle materials. Researchers have explored how the various structural levels of the EA affect the properties of the material. Specifically, the nested-cylinder structure of the EA’s spicules increases the strength and toughness of the sponge. However, there is limited research on this structural level of the sea sponge. This research uses finite element analysis (FEA) to model the spicule structure in COMSOL, setting the stage for further research into this bio-inspired material. The results of the initial bending tests prove this procedure of analysis is useful in the study of the spicule structure.
